I've refrained from talking about Jaylon too much because it was way too early to get overly excited... it still sorta is but what the heck.

The guy is one heck of a good person and what little I allowed myself to read about him, he is a really great leader on and off the field. Somebody that will only strengthen what appears to be a very tight group of guys. I'm know he's already a part of the group, but his leadership will mean so much more to the team if he can ball out on the field.

In short, he's definitely one of those guys that, if he makes a name for himself on the field, will easily be able to get an NFL / TV job after his playing days if he wanted to.

Ya lets ruin a guys life cause he smokes a lil weed.

A lil would be smoking a bowl a few times a month, Gregory and alot of these guys smoke enough to choke a hippo.

Still better than drinking and or prescription pain pills.

Drinking and prescription pills probably wouldn't have cost him a year's pay check. Therefore, you're wrong

Not what I meant. I'm saying the two massive issues the NFL has is players drinking and doing stupid stuff of the field see Josh Brent and also the players getting strung out on painkillers. Him smoking weed bothers me 0%. I would much rather a player smoke to deal with their issues than alcohol and pain pills.

This.

I realize he broke the rules and has to pay the price, but that still doesn't change the fact that the NFL has a huge problem here and hypocricy is at the heart of it.

They have no issue (seemingly) with guys getting addicted to pain killers that are prescribed by TEAM doctors, but we absoltely can't have guys smoking weed. They need to address this and quick. Medical pot is going to be a reality in virtually every state within a decade, IMO. This would be an opportunity for the league to take a leadership position and use their platform to educate the public on how pot is a much more effective and safe way for these guys to deal with pain issues. Take a medical approach and lead.

Can a player have weed in his system, and the NFL/TEAM KNOWS IT, and he plays, gets seriously injured....I think there is a huge liability there.

And I know players have played drunk, but the team didn't "know" it since they weren't prescribing alcohol.

Ugh. If Gregory is smoking weed just to get high, that's one thing. But if he's actually smoking it to help with mental issues (weed has been shown to help with that kind of stuff in certain cases), it's quite absurd for them to suspend him like that. And he's banned from team facilities too I think. So now he's on his own entirely. 100 percent he will smoke weed again. The only way we get him back I would imagine is if we hire a full time handler for him. The NFL needs to change a lot in regards to how they view weed vis a vis alcohol, domestic violence, etc.

the weed discussion probably needs its own thread.

back to the Cowboys and the playoffs....

hoping Detroit can pull off the stunner not because I don't wana play Seattle at some point, but because it'll keep either GB or the Giants from being the divisional round foe. i think we will be ok vs the Giants when all is said and done, but Rodger's being so on point right now does get me nervous.

There's no way the NFL let's pot become a legal form of pain mgmt. It's a Pandora's box for role models and kids nowadays. Pills are managed and regulated, marijuana isn't

They won't change it until its no longer federal law. Also, there are comparatively few studies out there on long-term effects of weed to the heart, lungs, and brain (although logic suggests that, at best, it's null, and at worst, it's carcinogenic). Even earlier studies about the issue of it being nonhabit forming have come into question. It's stunning that such a popular drug has been studied so sparingly. Edit: Also, when researching for yourself, be careful. There are a lot of people with skin in the game who misrepresent data or provide faulty info on the subject--on both sides.

With that, I believe it should be federally legal, and completely understand the NFL's stance on the issue; however, I'd like to see them allow the use of "medicinal" weed for players, which obviously opens up a host of other issues.

on The Ticket this morning David Moore said that between college, the combine, and now the NFL, he has 9 failed tests.

The packers defense gives up points and the cowboys average 30 a game at home.

Yep, I think Seattle is one of the easier outs this year. Hoping Detroit can knock them off so we can play them. Problem is, games at Seattle tend to go the way of the home team.
